BB26-38. Jason Ridout & Real Estate Investing

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast Leave a comment

Building Your Business with Sara Troy and her guest Jason Ridout. On air from September 22nd

I spent twenty years painting car for a living. As I neared my late 30’s,I realized I still had at least another 25 years painting cars before I’d be able to retire. I decided “Plan A” of working for 45 years and hoping to have enough money to retire was a terrible plan. I looked for alternatives and found real estate investing. I bought a few investment properties and really enjoyed the strategy and logic behind
it. I decided to get my real estate license so that I can help other people escape “Plan A” and secure their financial future through investing in real estate.

I was lucky enough to have an informal mentor that got me into investing in real estate. It drastically changed my life and my financial situation. Now I’m doing my best to pay it forward. I joined Pemberton Holmes in 2018 because of it’s local history and collaborative approach. I ended up taking over as a managing broker and owner of a few of the Pemberton Holmes location in 2021.

BB26-37. Ral West’s Livin’ the Dream

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast Leave a comment

Building your business with Sara Troy and her guest Ral West. On air from September 15th

We have been fortunate to live the life of our dreams for over 25 years. Our early years in business were exhausting and overwhelming; our health and our relationships were suffering. To stop that negative cycle, we learned how to operate our business in a different way, a way that allowed us to step back and be the owners rather than the operators of the business. Looking back on that journey, I recognized 6 principles that enabled us to create the freedom to live our dream life while still running a successful business. With Ral West Livin’ the Dream, my motivation is to fulfill a mission and follow my passion. I want to teach as many entrepreneurs as possible how to run their businesses in a way that enables them to achieve success while enjoying the life they truly want to have.

Ral’s story – from my early businesses to Ral West Livin’ the Dream

I am a 45-year serial entrepreneur, most of that time in partnership with my husband of over 40 years. Our primary business for 25 years was a scheduled charter airline that carried passengers on wide-body jets between Alaska and Hawaii. It was called Hawaiian Vacations. After growing it to mid-8 digits in annual revenue, we sold it to Alaska Airlines in 2008.

We did not stop there, however. Our next big venture was buying small (under 100 passengers) cruise ships, which we then leased to a cruise line that operated them in Alaska, Mexico, and on the Columbia River. Later, we ventured into partnering in multifamily syndications that purchased apartment complexes across several states in the US Sunbelt. This was an expansion of our real estate investing side businesses that we had started in the early 1990’s. 

In 2023, I decided to start yet another business, this time on my own. Primarily through one-on-one coaching, I teach entrepreneurs the 6 principles we used to grow and scale our businesses. I show them how to organize their business in a way that creates freedom for the life they want.

BB26-33. Heather D. Black & Phoenix Collaborations

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Building Your Business with Sara Troy and her guest Heather D. Black. On air from August 18th

For over twenty years, I sat on the other side of the stage as a meeting planner, in the room where the decisions got made about who got booked and who got passed over. I watched brilliant people show up, pour their hearts out, and walk away with nothing to show for it… and that stayed with me. Then God started nudging me toward something bigger. And I laughed. It took about 2 years for me to realize that He was serious and finally take the leap, and Phoenix Collaborations was born. My work now is helping purpose-driven speakers, coaches, and authors who are visible but not converting, the ones who feel like they’re doing all the right things and still wondering why the effort isn’t paying off. The truth I want every one of them to hear: your message matters, and being seen isn’t the same as being heard. When you get on the right stages with a real strategy behind you, your voice does more than earn applause… it changes lives, including your own. One day is here. Your audience…is waiting.

Heather Black is a Jesus-loving, coffee-drinking, spicy Carolina girl bringing sweet tea to the neon world of Las Vegas. She spent 23 years in the event and conference world before trading the planner’s clipboard for a mission of her own. She’s a builder at heart… more consultant than coach, the kind who hands you the system instead of a pep talk. Through her signature Phoenix Effect framework, she helps purpose-driven business owners turn showing up into real, measurable growth. Warm as a blanket, bold as a hot take, and always in the corner of the person with something worth saying. When the strategy finally clicks? The match is lit.

If today’s conversation stirred something in you… here’s my gift. I’m giving listeners a free 45-minute Stage-Driven Visibility Assessment. It’s a real working session. Together, we’ll find where your stage-driven visibility is leaking, why your stages aren’t converting the way they should, and the one shift that’ll move the needle first. You’ll walk away with clarity you can actually use… whether we ever work together or not.
